ONE STATION BEYOND.

Nearly all Of us, have had the thrill
ing () experience of coming from the
city in the midnight train, alias the
FOWL" In leaving Newark, quite often
word has been left with Mr. Frick to
meet 'us" at the train and again we have
forgotten. However, all this does not
have much to do with what we intend to
say. One night, not long ago, u young
man, whom we will call George, or the
"Boss Tinker" went to the city. What
he went for, is not TO be known, simply
"a business trip" After transacting the
business, George boarded the q. NJ train
for home. The seats were soft, and lent
fascinating spell overth Boss Tinker"
and quietly and peacefully the tired man
slept.
The train Numbered on. Stopping and
starting; whistling and snorting, but the
sleep of the tired is deep. Newark came
among the stops, but George slept. Sleep
held the man until Iron Hill was reached
The brakeman yelled Iron Hill ~ The
man awoke with start, and hurried
toward the door, where he soon realized,
that he was three miles beyond Newark
What was to be done ? Walk Yes, the
"Boss Tinker" footed it to Newark, and
vowing to himself, as he dassed over the
railroad sleepers, thinking he was sleep
er, only few minutes before, and he
would try and keep his eyes open here
after when he was in the ears. We sym
pathize with friend George, because when
one is forced to walk it is not pleasant.

Emma and Theodore, two sweet
blue-eyed children, aged two and
five years, always sat, while in the
dining-room, at their own little
table. where they were waited on by
Katie their nurse. One day little
Emma having finished her dinner,
was clamoring to he taken down.
Katie had left the room for Il NOM
ent and the buzz of conversation at
the large table quite drowned the
tiny voice, until Theodore was seen
to Slip quietly down from his chair,
90 around the table, and drawing
back his little sisters high chair,
take her in his arms and lift her
gently to the floor. The baby stood
for u moment with serious, upturned
face, the blue eyes looking gratefully
into her brothers, then the sweet
baby voice lisped; "Thath right,
Theodo God lovth little boyth
that help their little boyth that help
their little thithers down out of their
high chairth p And with hands
clasped, the tiny toddlers ran off to
their play, while we children of a
larger growth, who had been specta-
tors of the scene, were left to ponder,
over the sweetness of it.-BdbyhOod

"Fishey''

The culture of the German'carp in this
country has been successfully tried, and
many farmers are making money in this
industry. The time is not fur distant
when every farmer will have carp
pond on his premises We advise all
our farmers to try the experiment for
several years, and we are positive, with
some slight degree Of attention, money
can be made. Carp is Il hardy fish and
can live almost any place, ant attain a
large size in short time.

One of the largest and most enthusi-
astic town meetings everheld here to dis
cuss public question, was held on We'd
nesday evening in Grange Hall. The
primary object was to hear the report VI
the committee of representative citizens
appointed at the meeting held Saturday
night to carefully consider the charter in
all its details, adopt it to the needs and
exigencies of our rapidly growing town
and report upon the ACCESSIBILITY ofadop.-
ing it. During the interim this COM
mitee has worked indefatigably to COM
pete their task remaining in session I'M
til late in the night to accomplish it,
The result was that after many changes
and judicous revsions the committee re-
ported it informally and began the
enormous and almost impossible task of
explaining its workings and advantages
to the citizens assembled ut the meeting.
The charter coatains about fifty sections
and it was the work Of several hours to
read each one over and give each citizen
the opportunity to either object to the
whole or part ofeach section. 1t is quite
unnecessary to state that but few parsons
missed this rare opportunity of their
lives. On the whole however the objec-
tons urged were speedily removed by
the explanations of members Of the com
mittee and the ensuing vote on the par
ticular section sustained the original text.
The committee discovered in the old
charter provision which permitted
female holders of property who paid
town tax to vote on municipal and school
elections. The women have never man
Tested any desire so to do and it had be-
come obsolete Some of the more impor-
tant positions are here given. Section
2S gives encouragement to new manufac-
toring enterprises and provides for the
exemption from tax fora period Of ten
years of any industry employing ten men.
Section 80 grants one vote for each dol
lar of real estate tax on questions of
bonded debt of town. Those owning no
real estate in town are not allowed to
vote on this particular question. Section
"a provides that all future paving and
curbing of sidewalks shall be paid for by
the owners Of property before which such
work is done. Section 20 imposes upon
the railroads running through the town
limits the necessity of the erection and
maintenance of safety gates at all grade
crossings. A vote was then taken on the
entire charter, which was adopted unan-
imously.
The question Of town limits was a
more knotty question and provoked the
most exciting discussion on tho part of
those individuals who lived just out OF
the town boundaries and are now includ-
ed in the limits, with the attendant bur
den of town taxes. The question of in
Guiding Dcandale was discussed but no
action taken. The vote on the town
limits resulted in their adoption by Il vote
of esd.

sorrel horse because it will not keep the
road at night while taking his lady on an

sorbed lately that his horse travelled to

was on the wrong road,--Laurel Gazette.
Dear George, how reckless you have
become or was it because you were so
deeply interested in the sweet, ducky-
duck, that your sorrel horse meandered
and meandered until you landed at Prov
idence. Perhaps it was lucky stroke of
Providence you did.
